Forums > Senate Hall > I suck. I can't find a good S-canon tag

Seeing as Marvel Star Wars is S-canon, and thus almost no better than N-canon in terms of factual reliability, I feel it would be wise to add a tag to topics which exclusively comes from Marvel SW. As it stands, it is far too easy for readers to mistake them for the real thing among the multitude of C-canon articles. I'd like to start doing this here and there, but I can't find a tag for it.

Help? DarthMRN 12:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

  • There is no tag, and that is intentional. We don't separate S and C canon, just as we don't separate C and G canon. S Canon isn't "non canon" or "no better than N-canon", it is a valid canon source and needs to be treated as such. Please don't go and retroactively change a deliberate editorial decision that was made as far back as the beginning of this wiki. If you do, I will take it upon myself to revert all your changes. If you persist after warnings, I will ban you. Thanks. QuentinGeorge 13:01, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
  • If people want to know what sources something comes from, that's what the "ref" tags are for. We don't need messy and complicated sections dividing up our articles by source. We're not the OS, and I wish people would stop labouring under the belief that we are. QuentinGeorge 13:03, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
    • And a good day to you too. I'm afraid I'm gonna need some clarification on that then, cause last I checked, logic dictates that when something is to be disregarded or taken into account by the larger EU at the individual EU creator's own discretion, that quite clearly means it is non-canon until proven otherwise. And what does the OS got to do with it? DarthMRN 13:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
      • S-canon = N-canon? That's news to me, Mr. Spock. -- Ozzel 17:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
        • For factual purposes, at least. Now, I can't claim to be infallible, but as far as the info from the Canon article and Lelands statements in the Holocron thread goes, that is the only interpretation I can think of. If anyone can think of another, one that supports what QG says, I'm all ears. DarthMRN 20:21, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
          • How's about "canon until proven otherwise"? -- Ozzel 20:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
            • That is an interpretation, but it would be nice to hear how you arrived at it. DarthMRN 20:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
